Feeling Like Shit Again

As some of you may or may not know, I recently went through a very bad time, went into the Hospital for a bit.

It's been a long hall but I felt like last week I was finally getting better, I thought, wow, I'm beating this thing. For the past few days again I have been feeling like crap, been coming on slowly, thinking weird thoughts, having anxiety.

Has anyone ever thought they were getting better and started feeling shitty again?

I quite often feel like I am doing better and then BAM shitty again like I hit rock bottom. I think that key is that once I hit rock bottom, I start slowly clawing my way up. I think the disease only wins when we give up. I think it only a part of the disease when we have the ups and downs. Not giving up and not giving in is the key to getting better.

BB, RR, maybe we should talk about this together? I am SO disappointed, was feeling so good, etc. Didn't think it would go away.

Shit, I just started to feel better a few days ago and was getting "confident" it would last, but you never know with BP.

Rory.I read yr diagnosis.
It's a real tough one to answer without sounding so intense.
It is really a trip.It's gonna take a lot out of you.
You have the heart to overcome it.You also have a great mind, anyway.
Just be as strong as you can.
It's a real fucker of a stage.This shit ain't funny.
It's heartbreakingly unique to BP1 and the psychoses that affix themselves to you.
The rollercoaster dives deep.
Peace.xx

    I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
